Just make sure you're taking backups. Even if it's just a midnight MySQLdump + zip and upload to S3. Just do something. You can get your code back from Github if the disk on your one server crashes, your data maybe not so much.
- 0xCMP 9y agoYes, just cause it has RAID 5 doesn't mean the processor can't die (happened), or the RAID card in the data center you've never been in can't die (happened), or an unclean shutdown of a VM causes your sparse LVM Volume to die (happened).... Back up your stuff. Probably good to have two servers and have backup versions of your service ready to go on there in event of a disaster + a place to restore your S3 backups in to.
- twothamendment 9y agoI worked at a place that was too cheap/cash strapped/stupid to care about backups. We did nightly backups, but then one day I decided to replicate to my own server. I had plenty of room and bandwidth. Why not? It made me sleep better.
